Well, at first it would blue screen when you booted it up, but I tried some startup repairs etc and it quit blue screening and just going into Startup Repair automatically. I've tried the disable automatic restart feature several times, but it makes no difference.

It boots into the automatic Windows Startup Repair, which doesn't repair of course. I can hold F8 and get it to the "start up" menu where you see all the options, Start in Saftemode etc.. If I select any of the safemode options it automatically goes back into the Startup Repair. I've used a Win 7 disc to have the options in the startup repair.. boot from previous restore point, cmd prompt, etc. And nothing there helps it start up. I've ran CHKDSK and SFC /scannow etc from that command prompt option. I've tried to repair the boot sector, create a new one, etc. I've ran a couple of boot disc anti-malwares - Kapersky and System Rescue, it found a few things, but nothing major. All these things didn't work. If you have any other suggestions, I'm all open ears.

No, I can't get into safemode. I've tried everything you can think of. I guess I'm going to just wipe it clean and put a new version of Windows 7 on there. I was just trying to avoid it.

Your explanation makes sense, and I thought that was why it needed to be ran from Windows in order to make corrections, but I thought I would see if there was a way to accomplish it externally. Thanks for all your help and you guys software is a great tool.

Hey guys, I've got a computer that won't boot and I've tried everything under the sun to repair it. I was wondering if there is a way to take the hard drive out, plug it into another computer via USB, and then run the tweaking.com - windows all in one repair to repair this now external hard drive. Is this possible and how do I accomplish it?

I've downloaded the program to the external hard drive, and even open it from there. It opens fine, I didn't run it because I couldn't find a way to specify which drive I wanted it to fix, so I figured it would just try to fix the computer I'm on, and not the external hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I searched the forum fairly extensively for my problem, but couldn't find where this has been addressed before. So, I apologize in advance if this has already be answered somewhere else.
